Method

Cooking the Burger

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Charbroil the Burger

    Preheat the grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Add a slice of Jack and a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 4

    Build the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill. On the bottom half of each bun, layer arugula, cooked burger patty with melted cheese, bacon, pico de gallo, French fried onions, and chipotle mayo. Top with the other half of the bun.
